Former deputy chairman of the Presidential Administration, Rostyslav Pavlenko, called fake a message that he allegedly gave orders to prepare lawsuits to terminate the lease for the communities of the Moscow Patriarchate.
"Congratulations on a new piece of fake news, my friends. I was surprised to see in a number of media outlets that prefer not to stay away from information provocations: it turns out that “a source close to me,” said that someone gave someone an instruction to prepare lawsuits on terminatuion of lease for the communities of UOC-MP ... ,“ he wrotes in the post.
"I declare with all responsibility: this is nonsense. The church bodies should check the information, before citing fake news,” added Rostyslav Pavlenko.
The Informational and Educational Department of the UOC-MP published a notice stating that the Presidential Administration instructed the administration of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Museum and the Kremenets-Pochayiv State Historical and Architectural Reserve to prepare lawsuits for filing with administrative courts to terminate lease for the communities of the Moscow Patriarchate.
